Re: Yamaha Barrels

I'm not sure a millimeter is considered demonstrably shorter. In fact in the 70s it was considered rather normal to use a 67mm barrel in serious orchestral settings with Buffet R13s. But I attribute this evolution to the marketing of, and adaptation of the majority to, the 'darker,' lower pitched mouthpieces.

Not a complaint mind you, just an attempt not to lose site of what has been happening to clarinet playing in the last 50 years.
